BNB Price Starts Fresh Increase
In the past few days, BNB price saw a decent upward move from the $500 support zone, like Ethereum and Bitcoin. The price was able to climb above the $535 and $550 resistance levels.
It even cleared the $570 resistance. The current wave surpassed the 61.8% Fib retracement level of the downside correction from the $587 swing high to the $555 low. The price is now trading above $550 and the 100-hourly simple moving average.

A close above the $600 resistance might set the pace for a larger increase toward the $625 resistance. Any more gains might call for a test of the $640 level in the coming days.
Are Dips Supported?
If BNB fails to clear the $588 resistance, it could start a downside correction. Initial support on the downside is near the $572 level or the trend line.
The next major support is near the $564 level. The main support sits at $550. If there is a downside break below the $550 support, the price could drop toward the $535 support. Any more losses could initiate a larger decline toward the $520 level.
